It's a Marc Jacobs Giveaway!

Denise of The Blue Gardenia, aka The Woman Who Organizes the Best Giveaways Ever, has provided a little celebration in honor of Marc Jacobs's birthday. Side note: did you know he just turned 47? Looking good!

Here's what's up for giveaway. First, a rare Vogue Marc Jacobs skirt pattern. There are three variations, and it's a size 16-18. Clean, classic, lovely!

Second, a tube of MAC pro Longwear Lipcreme in Prolong, a classic red. (I had no idea there was a MAC red lipstick that I didn't own yet. This must be rectified.)

Third, a bottle of Zoya Dovima, a metallic smokey gray nail polish. I saw some similar shades in a magazine recently, and they looked amazing. Plus, it's named after the fabulous 50s model who was a favorite of Dior.

The overall combo? Fierce! I think Marc would approve.

To enter, just leave a comment here by midnight on Sunday EST. All countries eligible.

There is never a bad time to get a great skirt pattern. Also, that nail polish is killer. I've been hunting a flat gray for me for awhile but I just love shiny things too much. That shade is perfect. And if you pick me to win, I'll mail you the lipstick. Much as I love it, hubby told me I looked old when I wore red lips and even though I think he's lying because he hates lipstick, he won this mindgame. I can't bring myself to put it on anymore. Sad face. But happy for you! Pick me!

I could definitely use a new red lipstick, and I don't have a grey shade of nailpolish at the moment. I wonder how the sizing on that skirt pattern is? It's within a few of my size so there is definitely potential there. Yay!

In other news, my sewing machine is in the shop and I think I am going through withdrawal. O_O I ought to handsew all the bra strap snap ribbons into my tops and sweaters like I've been meaning to, but it's just not the saaaaame~

Oooohhhhh Ooooohhhhhhh Oooooohhhh i would LOVE to win that prize! Love everything there, am i allowed to enter from Ireland?? Oh i hope so, i will post up the sewn pattern for everyone to see, wearing the lippy and nail polish!! :) :) :)

What girl doesn't love Marc Jacobs and cosmetics!! Major Score on all accounts. Elliott Berman just had 50% off sale and I purchase some "to die for" hot pink brocade fabric from Marc Jacobs to make a jacket - and now maybe a matching skirt! Thanks Gertie & Blue Gardenia for the great give away!

Ack! This was made for me, my love of red lipstick ( and it looks good on me!), a sewing pattern my size RIGHT when I will be able to start sewing again ( yay Graduation), and my intense love of Matte nailpolish. Who ever wins this Will love the Zoya for sure me thinks!!

love the pattern, and i like to imagine receiving this little goody bag would be a wonderful reentry into living in the states! i'd be so stylish for job interviews! you're so generous and just the best.

So very pretty! thanks for the giveaway. Although if I win the lipstick I'll pass it on to someone who can wear red lipstick without looking like some weird vampire thing. Love the polish and pattern though!

Oh, I've been dreaming of sewing a skirt like view A for the past two years! Might actually do it if I suddenly had the pattern. I alternate between red and black polish (hot pink intercedes every once in a while) and that grey would be a gorgeous change. Thanks for the awesome giveaway, Gertie and Denise!!!
